I brought a pre-built shopping cart and I'm trying to put some buttons in another MC but when I click them the cart don't update.
The original setup of the cart was:
The 'Add to cart' buttons are on the root and the cart was inside an MC also on the root.
Now I understand that it's not not working due to me moving the buttons into a MC.[code]...
I have a label on my root timeline called "services". I have a services button inside a movie clip. How do I access the main time line to send it over to the page services? I'm using actionscript 3. Back in the day it would have been as simple as root.gotoandplay("services")

I know nothing about flash. I only need to change a few variables in a swf file. the swf file uses ../ for root directory, so, when I play this swf from other places than its designed directory, it will querry wrong URL.Edit: the swf are in this directory:root/domain/content/swfthe swf file has some ../url to querry files under the content directoryroot/domain/content/stuffs/items/filesIf I play the swf in another directory, for example, root/domain/topics/stories/jokes/then, the swf will querry root/domain/topics/stories/jokes/files, this is wrong. So I want to use a fixed expression to replace ../
View 1 RepliesThis is an example of the kind of issue I'm trying to solve. Say I'm looking to set 10 text fields (text_field_1 to text_field_10) within my movie clip 'myMovieClip' to the value of i. Now if the for loop and the text fields are in the place (_root) all I would have to do is:

I'm trying to access Flashvars that I declare in my HTML from a SWF that gets loaded after an intro animation.
I am able to access one of my Flashvars in the opening SWF just fine, but when the next SWF loads, I'm unable to access my Flashvars.
HTML Code Snippet: Code: Select all<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject2.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swffit.js"> </script>

Am I not targeting it properly?Alternatively, I've tried storing the flashvars URL in a variable in my root SWF and accessing it from the loaded SWF, but I can't seem to grab it. How would I grab a variable that is declared in my root SWF?
I want to use the same movieclip different times (different instances). The only thing that has to change in this movieclip is a string. I tried to solve this creating a variable.To be more concrete, on root timeline i have Code:var RespJpeg:String = "bandlang2.jpg"and inside the movieclip (actually inside a movieclip in a movieclip in a movieclip in a movieclip: 4level nested) i have
Code:

I want to find out the value of an index of an Array defined on the main timeline, from within a MC on the stage. In AS2.0 this would be as simple as trace(_root.mk_contArray[0]). In AS3.0, naturally something like trace(root.mk_contArray[0]) just doesn't work, nor any other variation I've tried. Is it something to do with addChild()? This instance is named, but I haven't used that method.
View 3 RepliesI'm guessing this is pretty simple, I just can't find the solution through my google searches.
Bascially I created a variable and gave it a value in the first frame of my main timeline.
Now I just want to pass that variable into a MovieClip. When I trace the value of the variable within the movieClip I get undefined.
Is there something else I have to do to make it recognize the root timeline's variable?

I got a variable "VideoFolder" well defined in my root level. However when I used this variable directly in child layers, my script does not recognize it and I get error 1120: Access of undefined property VideoFolder. I tried changing VideoFolder with _root.VideoFolder in all my child layers scripts, but it changes nothing.
View 2 RepliesI have a movie embedded and I am passing a variable to the root movie for it to play when the embedded movie is complete. I know the variable is getting passed because I am displaying the value in as dynamic text but the parent movie will not play. This is what I have:
stop();
row = 0;
if (row == 1) {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
Row is being passed from the embedded movie as
_root.row = 1;
I know there is a way to tell the parent movie to play from the embedded movie by using TellTarget but I would like to find out why this doesn't work.
It's an external AS file that I just converted from AS2 to AS3 and am getting this error -

I have a movie clip on my main timeline that I want to send to a certain frame based on a variable that can be set from a nested movie clip, and also set from an external swf that will be loaded into the main timeline.So how would I set that variable? In AS2, I would just go _parent._parent...as many levels up as I needed to, but the AS3 equivalent only seems to work one level up.
View 6 RepliesI've got a flash course that needs to pass the current screen number from the course to the mySQL database. The person who built the back-end built a php page that I can pass the number to and it will get written to the db but I'm not sure how to "send" that in the background.He told me that I just need to call the index.php page like: [URL]So, would I use URLRequest for something like that?
Code:
var vars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
vars.theData = data;
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("www.url.com/index.php/user/bookmark/"+slideNum);

I'd like to be able to generate certain data XML file through PHP based on variable that embedded in html page swf sends or request. I heard that it can be achieved by assigning FlashVars. I created a flash gallery which loads all content based on data from XML. However, I need to load a different content using the same flash gallery based in which html page the swf(gallery) is embedded. I can generate new XML through PHP if swf will send a variable to PHP which can be read as unique. I need to create a mechanism where the embedded swf send this unique variable.

Basically I am trying to send a variable from flash to php, I was trying to do it through the sendToURL function, because this seemed to be the most appropriate way to do this, although I may be wrong. Below is the AS.
var quizVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
quizVariables.party = "labour";
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(".../partyhandler.php");
myURLRequest.data = quizVariables;
sendToURL(myURLRequest);
Once this is done it should cause the following PHP to run (which works fine if I manually type in the address eg .../partyhandler.php?party=labour)
$party = $_GET['party'];
mysql_query("UPDATE party SET $party = $party+1 WHERE id=1");echo $party;
however something seems to not be working with the flash element of the code.

View 2 RepliesI have a html form and when submit is clicked, my php processes the data. At the moment its simple, just one field displayed to the screen <?php echo htmlspecialchars($_POST['name']); ?>.Instead of doing this, I want to send the variable name to a swf file, and load the swf file with the name. I will use flashvars to do this. I have seen examples, and I think this one is used to display the swf onto the webpage, and pass the data to the swf.
<object width="540" height="240" title="sample">
<param name="movie" value="card.swf" />
<param name="flashvars" value="var1=here&var2=are&var3=my&var4=flashvars" />
<embed src="card.swf" flashvars="var1=here&var2=are&var3=my&var4=flashvars" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="540" height="240" ></embed>
I am not sure what it is really doing, and what I should change the value to in order for my name variable to be passed.
